Wednesdays in March, we are bringing you No Bullying Wednesdays.

As part of our observance of Disability Awareness Month, we are thrilled to have an extraordinary guest with us - the viral creator @itslaurenduh94 on TikTok and Instagram.  She is a disability advocate, singer, and actress with over 900K+ followers on TikTok.

Bullying within the disability community, particularly on online platforms, is sadly a significant one.

Listen to our conversation to learn more about Laurens life with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome, and how she still has a thriving, abundant life.

Hey there! It's Social Worker Month and I couldn't be more excited! I just finished recording a podcast where I shared my personal journey as a social work student. My name is Chris, but my friends call me Christynn. I poured my heart and soul into this episode to make it as raw and authentic as possible. I want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing social work community out there. The work you all do is beyond phenomenal and I'm honored to be a part of it. So let's celebrate Social Worker Month together and keep making a difference in people's lives!

In this episode of "What Up Leeward, Let's Dive Deep," our host Alex Williamson talks to Raymund de Vega from the State of Hawaii's Office of Elections. The discussion navigates the importance of voter registration, particularly for Leeward students, and outlines the process and qualifications involved in candidate filing in Hawai'i. The conversation aims to illuminate the role students can play in the election process and the resources available to them, looking ahead at the future of the democratic process in Hawai'i and the power of each vote in shaping the community.
